1 ### means a number within the range of 000 to 255. On connection to the network, if the machine's 'Boot Method' is 'Auto' the machine will attempt to automatically set the IP address and Subnet Mask from a boot server such as DHCP or BOOTP. If a boot server cannot be found, an APIPA IP address will be allocated, such as 169. 254. [001-254]. [000-255]. If the 'Boot Method' of the machine is set to 'Static' you will need to manually enter an IP address from the machine's control panel.
